Torture Redress Mechanism in Nepal and Bangladesh: a comparative perspective
This article focuses on redress for torture victims in Nepal and Bangladesh
Abstract
This article focuses on redress for torture victims in Nepal and Bangladesh. Drawing on fieldwork in Nepal and Bangladesh, we show that seeking redress is not a straightforward process of detection, documentation and advocacy but is conditioned by a relation between legal provisions, the practice of human rights work and political mobilisation.
This work is part of ‘A Comparative Analysis of the Documentation of Torture and Ill-Treatment in Low-Income Countries’ project supported by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the UK Department for International Development.
